Hello and welcome to my portfolio page. I will use this page to showcase the work I have done and the learning I have achieved during English 1C/2C.
First, I want to list some learning goals that I set for myself and then explain how I met these learning goals:
List at least 5 learning goals that you set for yourself during the Summer and explain how you met each goal.
The first week my two goals were to come to class everyday and my other one was to turn all my work in correct.My second set of goals were to come on time to class everyday and to listen to teacher and my friends. Lastly, to keep a "C" or higher before the term ends so i can show my mother and she can be proud.(; I Raised my grade from a "f" to a "c"
i have been coming on time everyday
i accomplished this by actually getting up
i have been turning in all my work
i have been turning in all my work to get a good grade and so its not a waste of my time to be here.
also i have been working on my writing
i write really neater now i guess
and lastly i have passed my romeo and juliet act 3 quiz
i actually studied for it and got a 90% (:
My original plan was to leave here with a "d" at least for passing
and i am passing write now with a "C" and i am happy !
Next, I want to explain how one of our reading strategies works. Below I will explain how to Chart a Text. Then, I will give an example of how I charted a non-fiction text.
How to Chart a Text: when you chart the text what your going to do is read a paragraph and in one side of your paper {the says side} your going to summarize what the author is saying in that paragraph. Then in the middle you will put the paragraph number and on the far right you will state what the author is trying to tell the reader.
My Example from (Horrible images of Death in Haiti)
What does the author say?
Par.
What does the author do?
People find realistic, bloody pictures that are very disturbing that despict death/ human bodies.
1,2
Setting up the article or writing an introduction to prepare all readers.
Readers appose graphic images that do nothing but expose tragedies of innocent people.
3,4
The author presents the apposition to the argument of allowing graphic images to publish.
News professionals have a difficult time determining what is/not appropriate at all to show.
5,6, 7,8
The author is demonstrating a natural factor between the argument in these paragraphs.
The news professionals have been taking steps to be more careful in showing graphic images.
9,10
The author begins to demonstrate a proponent of being able to publish graphic images.
The author is saying how they should have a big warning sign in front because they dont want their children seeing images like those and have to explain to them.
11,12 13,14
News people are opposing that its not their fault, its basically the parents fault.
The news people are saying its the readers faults because they buy the papers.
15,16 17,18
The informers say that authors and photographers do care.
Graphic images make people feel and therefore is a good thing.
19,20
Casting a proposal to allow graphic images to be published freely.
Finally, I want to showcase three assignments that I am especially proud of.
3-Part source integration
In this article, “Teenage social media butterflies may not be such a bad idea “, the author Melissa Healy, a writer for the Los Angeles times. She claims that 72% of teens text regularly and 1/3 of them do it more than 100 times a day. She states that parents should not be mad at their kids for spending to much time with socializing with electronics, because it is healthy and they are using it for good use like keeping there selves occupied and not bord. This is important because parents are worrying too much about their kids doing bad things or socializing with strangers, when they are actually doing “healthy” things. And doing a 3-part source integration is important because it explains in simple terms what the article r whatever yo wrote about is.
